Subject: [Chihuahuas] Pass this along
Well worth the read. This is important information for females of ALL ages.
When this was sent to me, I was told to forward it to my lady friends, but I
forwarded it to most everyone in my address book. My men friends have female
friends and this information is too important to miss someone. Please pass
it along group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on
what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting
facts:
1) The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are
most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other
hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a
woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2) The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women whose
clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around
specifically to cut clothing.
3) They also look for women on their cell phone, searching through their
purse, or doing other activities while walking because they are off-guard
and can be easily overpowered.
4) Men are most likely to attack & rape in the early morning, between 5:00 a
m. And 8:30 a.m.
5) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked is grocery store
parking lots . Number two: Are office parking lots/garages. Number three:
Are public restrooms
6) The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and
quickly move her to another location where they don't have to worry about
getting caught.
7) Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 year
sentence but rape with a weapon is 15-20 years.
8) If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it
only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't
worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9) These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas, or other
similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands. Keys are
not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use
them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it
10) Several defense mechanisms he taught us are: If someone is following
behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or
stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is
it, or make general small talk: 'I can't believe it is so cold out here,'
we're in for a bad winter.' Now you've seen their face and could identify
them in a line-up; you lose appeal as a target.
11) If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and
yell STOP or STAY BACK! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they'd
leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to
fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
12) If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and
carries it with him wherever he goes), yell I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding
it out will be a deterrent.
13) If someone grabs you, you can't beat them with strength but you can by
outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the
attacker either under the arm (between the elbow and armpit) OR in the upper
inner thigh VERY VERY HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him
she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was
so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands - the guy
needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can
stand it - it hurts.
14) After the initial hit, always GO for the GROIN. I know from a
particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is
extremely painful . You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him
want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is
that they want a woman who will not cause a lot of trouble. Start causing
trouble and he's out of there.
15) When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and
bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them
as possible .. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and
I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
16) Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your
surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd
behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts!!! You may feel a little
silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body.
If you are close enough to use it, do!
2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans. If a robber asks
for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you..
.chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you
and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back
tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The
driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating,
working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.)
DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect
opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,
and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS
AND LEAVE. a. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE
OFF, repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into
anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in
the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail
out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote
location.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot or parking
garage:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger
side floor, and in the back seat.
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the
passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them
into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and
the passenger side.. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car
you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman
to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better
paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are
horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially
true at NIGHT!)
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS
RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times. And
even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, preferably in a
zigzag pattern!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP! It may get
you raped or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
well-educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women
He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked 'for help' into his
vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a
crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police
because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her'
Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' The lady then said that it sounded
like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would
crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, 'We already have a
unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' He told her that
they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax
women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said
they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that
they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.
Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby ----This
should be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on
America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial
killer in Louisiana. I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know.
It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle.. I
was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your
mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them,
as well.
